How It Works:
The adapter creates a 35mm image on the ground glass located
in the film plane of the 35mm lens you attach to it. By creating
a physical image inside the adapter, the natural control over
the depth of field, present in 35mm film format, is preserved
on your Mini DV tape. This true 35mm format image is then relayed
onto the camcorder's CCDs.
The adapter relay has its own iris to control the amount of
light through the system without affecting depth of field. Defining
the depth of field is usually achieved by setting the aperture
of the film lens. Adjust the iris on the adapter to control independently
the amount of light through the system. This feature of the Mini
35 Digital adapter gives you a new creative freedom not available
on a standard camera setup.
In addition, the angle of view of the lens is preserved. For
example, a 25mm film lens remains wide angle when it is used on
this system.
